Chapter Nine - Part 5

When the coast is clear, move out towards the door where Luca has holed himself up. A short cutscene will be shown with your friend trying to get through the door, but he's unable to do anything. Luca has successfully barricaded himself in the room. Suddenly, some of his associates -- reinforcements -- show up outside. Take cover underneath the windows and let the guys outside blast through them, clearing the way for you to return fire. A tommy-gun goes a long way towards extinguishing the enemy threat here. Be sure that no enemies live long enough to sneak around and flank you within the building to your left. You'll have to deal with several waves outside before all is said and done, but with a machinegun in hand, this segment of the chapter should last only a minute or two.

When the last enemy outside has fallen, you'll get to watch your friend again try to break in to Luca's barricaded room, but again, he is unsuccessful. Suddenly, you spot a cart on the far side of the hallway that can be used to bust through the barricade. This all happens relatively automatically, so sit back and enjoy. You'll eventually breach the barricade and find Luca in the flesh. Then, all you have to do is leave your friends to take care of the dirty work while you report back to Eddie at the swank restaurant he hangs out at. Worry not -- even though you were tasked by Eddie directly to make sure business is taken care of here, your friends will make sure Luca never sees the light of day again.

Now, all you have to do is drive back to the restaurant by following the directions on your HUD. There should be some nice, new cars outside of the windows you just had the firefight through, so grab one of those cars and speed off. Eventually, you'll get back to the restaurant. Head inside to witness a cutscene. Vito is dirty as can be, and stinks like sewage. He sticks out like a sore thumb in the restaurant, and though Eddie is thankful that Vito took care of business, he implores him to go get cleaned-up. While you can go home to your apartment to change, we actually recommend that you go to the nearby clothing store and purchase yourself a fancy, upscale suit. You'll understand why you want to have the nicest threads possible in just a moment or two.

Upon returning to the restaurant with a new change of clothes, a rather important cutscene will wrap up this difficult chapter. Vito will get to meet with his old friend Leo, who is from a rival family to the one you're working for, but who has still pushed to get you made. That's right -- you're about to be welcomed into the family you've been working for. This is a really cool cutscene, showing the ceremony that takes place when someone joins the family. So enjoy it. Then, witness a blur of a cutscene in which Joe and Vito enjoy their newfound fame, fortune and family. For the time being, anyway, things seem to be going well for Vito.
